anyone on this ?-New Peptide-Based Vaccine Trial opened with the Tumor Vaccine Group

This made be way off center, but I am wondering if there is anything at the University of Washington website directing patients from other areas to low cost temporary housing in the area? There must be someone there who can advise patients about those things.

Here is a link from the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance website regarding lodging and transportation.

Long term (2 weeks to a month+) housing starts at about $800.00 a month and goes up from there. They do have many options and many of the hotels offer special rates to those receiving cancer treatment. My secretary's daughter works at SCCA and I have a lifelong friend that works at Fred Hutchinson. I'm sure they must have special programs for people seeking treatment. Let me know if I can be of any help.

Thanks for all the warm hearts here!
My wife is now having Vinorelbine injection and Tykerb now, so it seems our plan to apply for Seattle Trial must be wait and see! and, actually I don't know which Trial would be the best suit for her.
As we have government medicine support here in Macao and no support in the U.S., so we will check very carefully before decision making, it must be something more promising.
How about the NeuVax? Is it almost done? Would it be on the market within one year? and Is there a trial open for patients?

We spoke with Genentech representatives at the AACR meeting in Denver.

They will be opening new trials shortly with more lenient criteria so your wife may qualify. Keep a lookout.

Hi, I fly to Seattle, from Tampa, FL - My last vaccine is in
November - Dr. Salazar is great. If this vaccine is not for
you, there are others, call interview them, I travel along way but, it fits for me.

I do get flight and hotel assistance.
Anyone that is on vaccination from Seattle, interested in talking with you private mess.

I go there once a month, the American Cancer Society can help with lodging.
